All Hallows’ Eve

On Halloween, Tia and Timmy find an unmarked VHS in their candy bag. They invite their babysitter Sarah to watch it, turning trick-or-treat into a horror viewing session. The taped program promises three stories about Art the Clown, foreshadowing the nightmare to come.

In The 9th Circle segment, Casey is drugged and kidnapped by Art while waiting for a train at a station. She wakes to find herself chained in a room with two other women, Kristen and Sara. The room's chains seem to lead somewhere, and Casey and Kristen attempt a desperate escape with a rock.

A deformed humanoid appears and dismembers Kristen, unwittingly freeing Casey from her chains. Casey runs toward freedom and encounters a man with a shopping cart who recaptures her. She is dragged deeper into the nightmare, again bound by chains.

Casey is restrained by a hooded coven and witnesses a pregnant woman having a fetus cut from her womb. The ritual ends with brutal displays of power as Casey confronts the dark ritual surrounding her. The horror culminates when she is assaulted and left to cope with the aftermath.

Back at the home, Sarah puts Tia and Timmy to bed and resumes watching the tape alone. The monochrome terror on screen continues to unfold, pulling focus away from the babysitter. The audience remains with Sarah as she absorbs the escalating dread.

In the Something in the Dark segment, Caroline has just moved to a countryside home. That night, a bright object crashes nearby and a power outage plunges the house into darkness. Her phone and car malfunction, and she begins to suspect someone else is inside.

With the house in darkness, an unseen alien stalks Caroline. She manages to disorient the intruder and hides in a small room under the staircase. A late phone call from her husband briefly reassures her before danger returns.

As the danger escalates, Caroline is dragged toward danger, and she pulls back a sheet from one of John's paintings, revealing an image of Art the Clown. The painting becomes a clue that Art has somehow invaded her reality. The sense of threat heightens as the intruder closes in.

The Terrifier segment opens with a costume designer driving along an isolated road and stopping at a gas station. The attendant ejects Art after a disturbance, and the designer receives directions for her route. When a noise from inside draws attention, the designer enters and discovers Art chopping up the attendant's body with a hacksaw.

The designer escapes in her car, but Art appears behind her seat attempting to smother her with cellophane. She crashes and barricades herself inside a large shed. Art digs into the shed and slashes her with a whip, forcing her to fight back with a scalpel to blind him in one eye and escape again.

The designer awakens on a crude operating table and discovers Art has brutally mutilated her, carving misogynistic symbols into her body. The unimaginable act leaves her reeling and unable to comprehend the blood-soaked reality she faces.

Disturbed, Sarah switches off the TV, but a home phone rings and the costume designer from the third segment pleads for help on the screen. The image shifts to a dingy room as Art steps into the frame and approaches Sarah from within the TV.

The television lurches to life with Art behind Sarah, pounding on the glass. She appears to become part of the screen, briefly trapped by Art as he closes in. In a panic, she smashes the tape and tries to break free from the nightmarish vision.

Moments later, Sarah hears Tia and Timmy scream upstairs. She races to their room to find their severed heads and bloodied walls spelling ART, revealing that the horror has invaded the family home. The night ends with a grim, irreversible twist.
